I need to figure this out for a non-console related project, I thought I'd try asking this here.
In essence, I need to make a circuit physically destroy itself on command, preferably only a cheap component so that it could be quickly reset by replacing it (the circuit will be on a breadboard). How could I do this reliably, with minimal risk of damaging the rest of the circuit? An rpi Pico will be connected to this thing, potentially to trigger the self-destruct among other things, so keep that in mind.
Bonus points if it breaks with a bit of spectacle (a loud pop, a flash of light, dreaded magic smoke, etc...), but I'm open to anything.
